01113

Had a couple of calls from this number? No one speaks to me though?

Had a call on my landline from this number. When I pick up, there is nobody there. When I don't pick up it only rings three times then goes dead. The number does not make sense in the UK, far too short. Looks more like a text message number.

When 01113 appeared on caller ID I became suspicious and contacted BT
I wondered if it was some clever scam where you are charged the moment you answer the phone
Apparently it is Nota scam
BT Say it is an unknown company generating a FALSE caller ID
and apparently it is completely legal for them to do this
this is deliberately misleading and therefor Deception
and is very probably fraudulant use of telecommunication equipment
If it is completely legal for companies to do this
It is not surprising the country is in the state it is in
and not surprising that there are so many people getting away with scams

Fact is I answered the phone and so the call was connected
Therefor Somebody somewhere HAS been charged for calling my number
It should surely be fairly easy to find out who was charged for making that call
Otherwise how do they know who to charge for the call

I too have just had a call from this number it seems they like to make calls late at night.  I thought it was an emergency and tried to call it back, what implications could that have for me??!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone answer my question


Thanx

Had a 01113 call last night. An Asian lady said it was a survey as part of a Government initiative and that i would be sent a free shower saver (whatever that is). When I asked some questions about 'What Government initiative' it seemed to cause her some technical problems and the call was terminated.

They phoned and asked for a mrs Barbara Davies.  I don't know who she is so I asked them who they were?  A south african voice said it was a survey group so I told them to hold the line and finished watching Emmerdale, when I picked the phone back up the caller had cleared.  CHEEKY SODS!!!

I was called at 18.46 yesterday.  No speech

Had a call from this number too Lifestyle Research Centre - I told them never to call again and the guy laughs and promises to call 10 more times. Funny.

Answered my ringing phone, went dead as soon as I answered.  Typed in 1471 this number came up.  Tried to ring back, BT announcer said "this number is not recognised"  And yet they recognised it to give me it on 1471!?

I get quite a few of these calls and usually a day or two afterward a few more telesales calls so i think it's a way of marketers/data companies (loons who sell info) to check the 'patency' of your number ie if there'll be someone to pick up and presumably sell to.

Weve had 7 of these calls tonight. If you get to it it just seems to hold with no-one there and then hangs up. Is there not a phone out there where you can block calls coming from the same number?

We had two of those calls tonight as well. Thankfully we did not bother to answer but the number stayed on the telephone caller display.
This number is just one of more than a handful of these pests we get nuisance calls from.
I simply cannot understand why it seems impossible to ban these companies....But I totally agree with Amy that I would be very pleased to see the introduction of a phone that can be used to selectively block numbers!

Spoke to my girlfriend on more than one occaison.
just hung up when they asked for me.
Rude and untracable.

I just got a call from this number. It was silent as I picked up & continued to stay silent throughout "Loose Women" as I just left the receiver  off.

I had this call a few times. An indian gentleman answered and said he was from the "Lifestyle Marketing Company" and asked if I could answer a few questions that would take only one minute. I politely refused and hung up. The caller asked for my wife by name which is a bity worrying.

had a call today 16:30 from this number when i answered they did not speak & hung up.

Just had a call from this number - connected then hung up

Received a call from 01113 today at 5:19 p.m.  When I answered the call there was no-one there.  I also recieved a call yesterday from 02053334444 - I am now expecting to get lots of marketing companies phoning me up and trying to get me to buy stuff!

Getting constantly bombarded with these calls at all hours.  The original call had some Indian man on the phone and after I told him I didn't want to be disturbed again, the calls increased in frequency.

I have called BT and apparently they can't be blocked.  Its crazy that BT have no ability to block this from happening, what a shambles.

Next time I get a call I am going to find out whose products they are selling and then start to bombard the senior management of that company with calls to see how they like it.

Just had the call - rang off straight away.
